- bayesopt
- acquisition.py: Acquisition function classes, e.g. expected improvement, local penalisation, etc.
- async_bo.py: Base class for asynchronous BO, as well as all the different permutations, e.g. PLAyBOOK, TS, etc.
- batch_bo.py: Subclasses of classes in async_bo. Synchronous batch BO.
- bayesopt.py: Base class for BO. Also acts as the standard sequential BO class
- executor.py: classes that perform function evaluations in parallel (synch or async is defined in the BO class)
- exp_utils.py: utilities e.g. creating BO classes quickly, getting the correct task and synth time func
- util.py: MES-related functions, hallucination functions
- exps
- Interface for async and sync BO exps
- BO experiments are run by executing exps/exp_async_synch_math_func.py with desired parameters
